Side mirror puddle light upgrade

[AZ Silver Dollar]

Never mind I dont even have a space for it....

side note: Meso custom Tacoma 3rd gen LED dome light works on 5th gen 4Rs as well. I replaced mine for the the red led and its much easier on the eyes than any white led.

The Lasfits are REALLY bright, they're actually the same Lumen rating as these Meso pods

Right now the Last fit T10/194/168 at 400 Lumens are at the top of my list for the puddle lights however still waiting on a Lumen number on these ( see below).... being that the emitters are all on the same plane and would all be directly pointed to the opening on the bottom of the side mirror this may turn out to have even more light.

Yes, very good advice. As with so many other clipped-in pieces inside and outside the 4R, if you know where to grab and pull, and you go slow and deliberately you will be OK. But the first time attempt is kind of nerve wracking, with all the noise of clips releasing.

What I found daunting was the idea of pulling off the mirror. I didn’t trust myself to not break something. I was more comfortable with the painted cover removal method. I’ve used this method four times with no problems. (The main grab point to start is the pointy section toward the window). It gets easier each time. See post 20 below for more info.

Either way, you will be successful.

Thanks, [MENTION=200736]ElectroBoy[/MENTION]. I’ve seen this method as well and like the idea of not having to remove the glass.

I've done both FyreFlyz LED bulbs

And Lasfit LED T10 bulbs, highly recommend the Lasfit bulbs, they're bright as hell

Pretty much any wedge bulb will fit

Where did you get the t10 lasfit...thinking about not doing meso and maybe just doing lasfit led

Just an FYI brighter means hotter, I would check the housing if they have been on for a while, you don't want to melt inards. (if you are using them as a switched light, LED's can get super hot)

The Meso lights are nice.

I recently added the meso much better then just putting an led in the stock slot. the light is way, way brighter. if your going to take the time to brake down the mirror to change the bulb just spent the 100 bucks and buy the kit. I had to keep changing the amazon led bulbs they don't seem to last.

This weekend I replaced my Lasfit T10's with the Meso LED pods, and my God what a difference. The Lasfit T10 bulbs are great, and very very bright, but I couldn't believe the difference with the VLED pods from Meso.

Here's a before as I was installing them

And here is a side by side before and after, the new Meso on the right, and the Lasfit on the left

Further back

These are the same lumens, however the panel being out with no lens or diffuser produces so much more outward light.

Here's the Lasfit only, very bright on it's own, but nowhere near the throw of the VLED

FYI the MESO puddle lights are currently available.

I have had Opt7 and Lasfit. Green and red, both great colors for out in the woods. Both work great, just make sure you get the right shape size or they will get knocked out of the socket when you put the mirror back on.

I want these for my Pro!!! :shrug:

You can add them, but you'd have to wire them up yourself

Yeah man, I thought my Lasfits were bright AF, these MESO ones floored me

 

[daytonaviolet]

I did these last night. they have a really good throw to them. It’s a lot brighter then any 194 T10 led
